I walked into the school building, and went to my locker. I opened the locker, putting some books in, and taking out others. I closed the locker, and saw Raj standing there, grinning at me. "Hey!" I exclaimed, jumping up, and kissing him.
"You're so cute when you do that," Raj said as he put me down.
"Lovebirds, lovebirds everywhere," Remi muttered as she came up to us.
"I know right?" Takara said, following behind her.
I didn't blame them one bit, at one point I was feeling the same way. "You will find someone someday," I said to them. "Just be patient." I smiled.
"It's been already a few years," Remi groaned. "I don't think it will happen anytime soon."
"I did have a boyfriend back home, but I had to break up with him when I moved here. There was no point in having a high school long distance relationship," Takara said. "I mean, I do believe long distance relationships can work out, but just not for high school. At least that's the way I see it."
"Aw, I'm sorry," I said, hugging her. "How long did you two date?"
"Two months."
"Oh okay." Suddenly, I got a text from my dad saying that we were invited to Kurt's wedding.
Felix and Lauren came walking toward us, holding hands.
"Hey, look at this," I said to Raj, Lauren, and Felix.
"We're invited to Kurt's wedding?" Lauren asked in surprise.
I nodded my head. "Yup."
"But I don't really know that guy...Do I have to go?" Felix asked in a whiny tone.
"Of course you do!" Lauren gave him a look, crossing her arms. "I'm going, and I need to have a boyfriend to show off, and dance with."
Raj, Takara, Remi, and I giggled while exchanging glances.
I got another text from my dad. "Oh, and apparently Kurt is looking for someone that can DJ the wedding," I said. "I'm going to tell him about Marcus, if that's okay Takara."
"You should probably ask Marcus first. He may be busy," Takara said.
"Right." I nodded, and sent a text to Marcus.
"I still can't believe your dad is dating Stella," Remi said. "Can you imagine if they get married? You'll be step siblings with the Becker boys!" She grinned.
"Oh my gosh, I never thought of that!" Lauren exclaimed, repeatedly smacking my arm in excitement. "That's so awesome!"
"Yeah, that would be pretty cool. They're really nice," I said, smiling.
"I still have yet to meet these boys," Takara said. "You three make them sound like they're great or something."
"Because they are," Remi said, giving her a 'duh' look. "They're cute, German, and have accents. What's not to love?"
"You've got a point there." She laughed.
"I've got to plan what I'm going to wear for the wedding. I don't know if I have a formal dress!" Lauren exclaimed.
"Relax girl. I have some dresses that you can try on and borrow," Takara said, reassuring her.
I turned to Raj. "Are you going to the wedding?" I asked him.
"Of course I will," Raj said, smiling at me as he held my hands.
I smiled back at him, and then we kissed.
The bell rang, and then we went to class.

Later at lunch, Kristen walked toward us, and then sat at our table. "Hey...mind if I sit here?" She asked, smiling.
I raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Sure," I replied. I wasn't going to say no to her.
"Can I tell you something?" She glanced at my friends, boyfriend, and then back to me. "In private?"
"Yeah, of course." I got up from my seat, and then we went to a table that was in a more private area. "What's up?"
"Um...this might sound weird, especially coming from me, but I'm sorry about how I've been treating you..." She twiddled with her thumbs. "I'm going to stop being a snob to you, and other people. I'm also not going to flirt with Raj, or any other girl's boyfriend. There's a guy I've recently met, and he basically is helping me change for the better." She blushed, and grinned.
My eyes widened in surprise, but of course this was a good surprise. "Oh...and that's cool..." I smiled. "I'm glad you said that, and want to change for the better. If you want, you can hang around my friends anytime. And who's the guy?" I basically already knew who he was, but just wanted to ask to be sure.
"Gustav." She blushed again, and smiled. "He's a great guy. We really hit it off when we met again."
"Awww, well I'm glad you two are great. Are you two dating?" I smiled back.
"Um...not technically. I mean, we didn't tell each other that, but we both like each other. We've been texting and Skyping a lot lately. He got his license recently, so he said he'll visit sometime soon, probably sometime this month."
"Well I think you two look cute together, and are a great match." I grinned.
"And I think you and Raj are cute together, and are a great match as well." She smiled, and glanced around the cafeteria. "Well, that's basically what I wanted to tell you."
"Oh okay. You can sit at our table if you want."
"Cool." She grinned, and then we walked back to the table, and sat down.
"Here's my girl," Raj said, putting his arm around me, and kissing my cheek.
Lauren and Remi gave me a curious look, and I smiled at them, whispering, "I'll tell you later."
Lauren took out a batch of cupcakes from her bag. "Look what I made this morning," she said, grinning and handing out cupcakes to everyone at the table. She turned to Felix. "You get two because you're special."
"Awww," Felix said, smiling and then giving her a kiss. "I have an awesome girlfriend who cooks awesomely."
She grinned at Felix. "Thanks babe."
"I've got to learn how to bake," Remi said, and then we laughed.
"Same here," Takara said, taking a bite of her cupcake.
"Me and Kaci can teach you two, if you want," Lauren said.
"That would be great." Takara smiled.
"Thanks for the cupcake, Lauren, this is really good," Kristen said, smiling after taking the last bite of her cupcake.
"You're welcome," Lauren said. "I always bake stuff so you'll get to eat more of it." She smiled.
The bell rang, and we cleared our table, getting up and going to class.
